Abstract

A 24 year old woman presented with a painless fusiform mass in her right index finger. Exploration showed an enlargement of the nerve by fibrofatty tissue and microsurgical intraneural dissection was done. Histological examination identified the lesion as a lipofibromatous hamartoma of the nerve, which is both rare and benign. There are different options for treatment of this lesion.
